Were they all LHD or some were RHD? Japan is a RHD country...

JPP

There's RHD in the U.K. but I'd bet this car was brought into Japan as a used car from Europe.

Porsche doesn't like to do RHD if they don't have to. Even the sultan of Brunei's 959s were all LHD.

^^^ There you go. I know Colin Belton's RSCS is LHD but you can see a RHD yellow RS on their website.

Cactus

Man I would love to take that thing to the mountains in WV!!!!

Here's another RHD example, considering the sign in back is in English, I'm going with U.K.:

RAB

People like to order in Japan LHD cars, because it is a status symbol more than to drive the car.

There are a lot of European LHD cars ordered as new from the dealers

Full Boost

^^^ + 993.

We also have RHD cars here - including some RS' and they are a DIFFERENT spec (mainly emissions) to the UK cars.

Japan is just lucky that they allow full reg of BOTH LHD and RHD cars!

I spoke to Prescott a while back during the process of bringing it over from Japan.

He made me keep quiet, (not sure why) and to be honest I wasn't sure it was legit.

Well, there you go. I just emailed Rudy and asked him to buy it. I'm calling him out right now.
Buy this car, go to rock star status, Hall of Fame stuff. He can sell 5 of his current collection to fund if need be.

Just trying to help.

JPP

Well .. if you look at the cost of Federalization in 2004 at $60K, assuming it's gone up a bit .. and subract that from the asking price, it's not that bad. I think a comparable example with 30K miles on it would sell for $150K in Germany ...

DALLWA

And honestly, would you rather have 1 true RS or 5 993s? I already know my answer.

Shoot he would still have 4-5 993s left over. I hope his ears are ringing!

JPP

This RS, SpeedArena and THIS CGT ... and I'm DONE IN THREE!!!
